Miyako, rather than creating an array of the strings within a designated list, I want to create arrays of the string list ids and resnames analogous to the results of "RESOURCE LIST (“STR#”; ResIDs_an;ResNames_at)". My existing DBs rely on these arrays to reference the strings within each list. > On Mar 9, 2017,Nigel Greenlee <nigel.green...@me.com > <mailto:nigel.green...@me.com>> wrote: > > I don’t have an exact solution for you. but the following might give you some > pointers on the way to go.

Nigel, with a bit of tinkering and lots of testing in the debugger I have gotten a variant of the code you posted to work. In its raw state it is already adequate for my immediate purposes, with converted DBs. But I intend to tweak it a bit more so that it can locate the Resource folder in 4dbase packages as well. Mañana. When it has a bit more polish I will post my code, just in case it may be of some use to others. Thanks again to both of you.
